Chapter 58: Who's the Winner?
Lu Su realized a little and said: "It turns out that the lord has a plan in his heart, but why should the lord let Kong Ming show off his eloquence like this." ”
Sun Quan stroked his purple beard and said proudly: "Lone did this just to give Liu Bei a few thin noodles." Zijing also said before that Liu Bei has been quite popular in Jingxiang over the years, and now Liu Cong has fallen, Liu Qi is a piece of rotten wood, and he can collect the hearts of hundreds of thousands of people in Jingzhou who are unwilling to surrender to Cao, only Liu Bei, this person will still be useful in the future, and it is worth giving him a little sweetness at this moment. ”
Lu Su was in a trance, and couldn't help but sincerely admire Sun Quan's vision, and arched his hand: "The lord can have such a vision, which is really a blessing for Su and other Jiangdong subjects. ”
That Sun Quan was proud for a while, and then sighed again: "Liu Bei is certainly hopeful, but after all, there are few soldiers and generals, and it is useless, and it is our Jiangdong army that carries the beam." In alliance with it this time, he can even sit on an equal footing with Gu without even a single soldier, and he can also sit and reap the benefits, which can be regarded as making Liu Bei pick up a big bargain. Lone felt that why not take advantage of the situation to annex Liu Bei and Liu Qi, and then use Liu Bei's popularity to win the hearts of Jingxiang's people. ”
The corners of Lu Su's mouth raised, and he said with a smile: "The lord's words are wrong, according to Su's opinion, in this union, our Jiangdong is the biggest winner." ”
Sun Quan's eyes lit up and said, "How can you see it." ”
"Then Liu Bei is stationed in Fankou, it is clear that we have been wary, the lord is certainly strong enough to merge these two, but if Liu Qi falls to Cao Ying, Xiakou is lost, even if Liu Bei is unwilling to surrender to Cao and submits to the lord, but at that time, Cao Ying's forces have easily entered the Jiangxia line, the Jiangdong portal is open, and Cao Jun can even take the dry road to smash Chaisang, at that time, what is the use of Liu Bei's people's hope."
Lu Su's analysis made Sun Quan nod slightly, and he continued: "And if we unite with Er Liu, then we can smoothly expand our power to the Xiakou line. In the future, if Cao Ying is defeated on this line, he can go west to fight for Nanjun, at that time Cao Ying has gone north, this line of the Yangtze River, is my Jiangdong family is dominant, although Liu Jieshi has the name of an ally who sits on an equal footing with the Lord, but its strength is weak, and it is not at the mercy of the Lord. After the lord takes advantage of Liu Bei's people to collect Jingxiang, sooner or later he will not annex it. In this way, Liu Bei is not without nothing in the end, and the lord is the real big winner. “
Lu Su's words made Sun Quan's eyes suddenly brightened a lot, and he clapped his hands and said: "In this way, this loss is really worth it." “
Lu Su said with a smile: "Su has been in business for many years, in fact, this military matter, and the way of doing business is two links, the more dare to spend a lot of money, willing to suffer losses, the greater the benefits of the future harvest, those who seek great things, must not be bothered by the small profits in front of them." “
Sun Quan stepped forward and clasped Lu Su's hand, and said angrily: "Zijing's words made Gu Mao suddenly open. He said that if he defeated Cao Ying and collected Jing Xiang, then Zi Jing was the first great achievement, and he would be rewarded heavily. “
Lu Su also said with indignation: "Money is like dung, fame and fortune are also floating clouds, how can Su care, I hope that the lord has the world in his heart, and when he becomes a hegemon in the future, Su is a courtier, and he can also leave a few strokes in the history books, which is the greatest reward for Su." “
When Sun Quan heard this, he couldn't help laughing.
When Sun Quan was smiling proudly, suddenly the chamberlain hurriedly entered, saying that Cao Ying had a messenger coming.
Sun Quan and Lu Su's expressions changed slightly, and Sun Quan said: "Zijing, in your opinion, this Cao Ying's messenger, is it not seen alone?" ”
Lu Su said: "If you don't even dare to see the envoy, it seems that the lord is afraid of him, so you might as well pass it in, and what can he say." ”
So Sun Quan asked someone to send the messenger in, and after a while, the messenger entered with his head held high, with a look of arrogance, and saw that Sun Quan did not worship, but only held up a letter and said loudly: "This is a handwritten letter from the prime minister of my family to the general, please take a look at it." “
Seeing that he dared to rely on the authority of his master, he dared to look at no one like this, Sun Quan suddenly became angry in his heart, but he only temporarily suppressed his anger, and his face was kind, and said: "The messenger is happy, come here, present Prime Minister Cao's letter." “
The attendant presented the letter, and Sun Quan opened the letter unhurriedly, and if he didn't read it, he couldn't help but look at it.
――――――
When Zhuge Liang showed his eloquence in front of Sun Quan, Fang Shao, Wei Yan, and the more than 100 soldiers were still on their way to the pavilion.
There is a shortage of horses in Jiangnan, and only Zhuge Liang enjoys the treatment of riding horses, while the bodyguards such as Fang Shao and Wei Yan only have the share of walking. But fortunately, everything you see along the way is prosperous, and it is a pleasure to slowly appreciate the Jiangnan style.
Accompanying Fang Shao was a small official of Eastern Wu, who was also kind, and explained to them the customs of Chaisang with great interest along the way.
"Jiangdong men, how can they talk like birds, chattering so much."
Wei Yan on the side complained in a low voice, he was not interested in the so-called scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, his expression was serious all the way, his eyes swept around vigilantly, and he looked like he could respond to emergencies at any time.
Fang Shao knew that Wei Yannai was the commander of Liu Bei's personal army, and he was responsible for protecting Liu Bei, and he probably developed the habit of being vigilant at this time. But at this time, being in Chaisang, far away from the shroud of the flames of war, and still being so emotionally nervous, is it not a big scenery.
At that moment, Shao laughed in a low voice: "Brother Wei, it's so easy to come to Jiangdong, take it easy, you see how interesting the customs and customs around here are." ”
Wei Yan snorted coldly and said, "Except that men are women, what is there to see." ”
Sure enough, he was an uninteresting guy, so Fang Shao had to ignore him and just look around.
Just as they walked to the most lively market, they suddenly heard a loud noise in front of them, and saw a red shadow galloping forward, squeezing passers-by on the street like a breaking wave. I don't know who it is, but in this downtown is such a galloping horse, and in the blink of an eye, the street is full of chickens and dogs, and people are overturned.
"Who is it, so arrogant."
Fang Shaozheng was curious, and the little official beside him had already changed his expression, and while flashing to the side, he shouted in horror: "Hurry up and get out of the way, Miss Sun's way can't be blocked!" ”
Fang Shao hadn't figured out who Miss Sun was, but he didn't want to be seventy yards at a young age, so he listened to the little official's warning, and subconsciously gave way to the side of the road.
But Wei Yan stood in the middle of the road, not moving at all, and said contemptuously: "I am taking the dignified road, why do you want to let me!" ”
Wei Yan didn't move, and the hundred soldiers behind him didn't dare to move, so he only shouted the little official in a hurry: "This general, don't you want to die, ...... quickly."
It was too late, and the red shadow flew like a glow, and hit Wei Yan who was blocking the middle of the road.
